Shimano introduces 12 speed XT Di2… for e-bikes only, includes new Free Shift & Auto Shift features
. With Deore XT Di2 LinkGlide, you should retain that increased durability, only with the benefits of a modern electronic drivetrain.
Also, while Di2 has not been available for traditional Shimano mountain bike drivetrains since they were 11-speed, Shimano’s e-bike drivetrains have continued to offer a Di2 version which relies on the battery of the e-bike itself for power. That continues here, and possibly why we still aren’t seeing Di2 options for non-e-bikes.
Along with the Di2 addition, Shimano has introduced a new CS-LG700 11-speed cassette for the LinkGlide groups that is a whopping 200g lighter than the previous CS-LG600. For the most part, the 11-speed LinkGlide and 12-speed Hyperglide+ derailleurs look almost identical. The biggest difference seems to be in the design of the pulleys.
Both the 11-speed and 12-speed groups utilize a new Di2 shifter with an interesting dual-thumb lever setup. We haven’t actually seen how this shifter would work, so currently it’s all speculation based on the photos.
